Perfect shamelessness, like perfect virtue, is im¬ 
pregnable. 

The New Army , 1915 .

Though Allah and Earth pardon Sin, remaineth 
for ever Remorse. 

Certain Maxims of Hafiz.

E’en as he trod that day to God so walked he 
from his birth, 

In simpleness and gentleness and honour and

The English do not think as natives do. 
They brood over matters that a native

then native and English stare at each other 
hopelessly across great gulfs of miscom¬

Across the world in flame; 

But their own hate slew their own soul 
Before that victory came. 

The Outlaws, 1914.

Truth is a naked lady, and if by accident she

vow that he did not see. 

A Matter of Fact.

Pyecroft: Their Lawful Occasions. 


Twenty-ninth 

It is no lie that at the present moment we 
hold all the seas in the hollow of our hands. 
For that reason we shuffle over them shame¬

round the world for some one to resign 
it to.

To show a fellow-savage how to work. 

In the Neolithic Age.

some respects is the wisest, as she should be 
the happiest of us all.

When a matured man discovers that he has 
been deserted by Providence, deprived of 
his God, and cast without help, comfort or 
sympathy upon a world which is new and 
strange to him, his despair, which may find 
expression in evil-living, the writing of his 
experiences, or the more satisfactory diversion 
of suicide, is generally supposed to be im¬ 
pressive.
